• I enjoy art, architecture, museums, churches and temples; anything that gives me insight into the history and soul of the place I'm in. I can also be a beach bum - I like to laze in the shade of a palm tree with a good book or float in a warm sea at sundown.

• A pine tree standeth lonely In the North on an upland bare; It standeth whitely shrouded With snow, and sleepeth there. It dreameth of a Palm tree Which far in the East alone, In the mournful silence standeth On its ridge of burning stone.

• Los aborígenes aún tenemos que luchar para demostrar que somos seres humanos normales y corrientes, como los demás. Sabes, yo crecí, nací sobre una manta del gobierno bajo una palmera. Viví bajo arbustos de lantana, he visto más cenas que cenas, he conocido la discriminación, he conocido los prejuicios, he conocido todas esas cosas... pero algo de eso sigue con nosotros... y hay que cambiarlo.

• In the oasis complex, the thirsty man images he sees water, palm trees, and shade not because he has evidence for the belief, but because he has a need for it. Desperate needs bring about a hallucination of their solution: thirst hallucinates water, the need for love hallucinates a prince or princess. The oasis complex is never a complete delusion: the man in the desert does see something on the horizon. It is just that the palms have withered, the well is dry, and the place is infected with locusts.

• Un beso sobre tarta de manzana a la mode con la cremosidad de la vainilla fundiéndose en el calor de la tarta. Un beso sobre chocolate, cuando no has comido chocolate en un año. Un beso sobre las palmeras que pasan a toda velocidad, arrastrando nubes rosas cuando conduces por el Strip chisporroteando champán. Un beso sobre focos abanicando el cielo y el mar hinchado derramándose como lágrimas sobre tus piernas.

• Aunque era enero, en Los Ángeles hacía un sol espléndido, el cielo estaba azul y hacía calor todos los días, así que creo que fue producto de nuestro entorno. Para mí, California, como concepto o idea, siempre parece un optimismo infinito y un sinfín de oportunidades. Cuando la gente piensa en California, piensa en palmeras, cielos azules, magníficas puestas de sol, playas y todo lo demás. Pero California también tiene su rareza, su oscuridad, es un lugar donde la gente viene a perseguir sus sueños y a veces no lo consigue.

• Since my stroke, I have begun to see so many miracles all around me. I look out of the window in my room: verdant grass, silver-tipped oak leaves, tall palm trees gentle swaying as they reach to the sky, masses and masses of roses. All colors, so many shapes, exquisite fragrances.

• I was in Cancun, Mexico, sitting in a disappearing-edge swimming pool, on a bar stool that was actually under the water, watching palm trees sway in a sultry breeze against the unmistakable aqua splendor of the Caribbean Sea; drinking coconut, lime, and tequila from a scooped-out pineapple, with salt spray of breaking surf and sun kissing my skin. Translation: I'd died and gone to heaven.

• Disfrutar, en cambio, no siempre es agradable, y a veces puede ser muy estresante. Un alpinista, por ejemplo, puede estar a punto de congelarse, completamente agotado y en peligro de caer en una grieta sin fondo, y sin embargo no querría estar en ningún otro sitio. Saborear una piña colada bajo una palmera al borde del océano turquesa es idílico, pero no se puede comparar con la euforia que siente en la cresta barrida por el viento.

• I will be your friend,' I said. 'I will go home to my mother's house the way I did when I skinned my knees as a little girl. I'll go and let myself be consoled by my roses, my palm trees, my enormous volcanoes in San Salvador. When you are old, maybe you'll come and see me someday.

• Music was your real passion, this thing you held dear even above family. It was this relationship that never betrayed you. Once it became your job - this thing that was highly visible, this thing that became about commerce - that's when you were holding onto music like it was a palm tree in a hurricane.

• There is a sort of natural instinct of human dignity in the heart of man which steels his very nerves not to bend beneath the heavy blows of a great adversity. The palm-tree grows best beneath a ponderous weight, even so the character of man. There is no merit in it, it is a law of psychology. The petty pangs of small daily cares have often bent the character of men, but great misfortunes seldom. There is less danger in this than in great good luck.
